Haha those action figures remind me of this old anime store we used to have down the road. They had this really detailed Cloud action figure with his motor cycle fenrir from Advent Children. The bike was probably a foot, maybe a foot and a half long. And Cloud was between 8 and 12 inches long. They wanted 137 dollars for it. Somebody actually bought it, I was surprised. They also had some bad ass Sephiroth action figures =( not to mention other Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts action figures, among other anime haha.

I think he couldn't do it and just passed out or something. Then again, he doesn't even do enough damage in battle to OHKO himself.

I had to stop playing haha. I know he didn't do it properly, but woah...that shit is HEAVY for FF, isn't it?

And I was really hoping he'd see it wasn't really Vanille's fault and be all like FU Sanctum! I won't be a puppet! Me and Vanille, we stick together! But no, he had to emo out.

XIII is pretty hardcore with the drama in certain parts. I need to pick up my second game so I can relive that moment, it definitely made my jaw drop!

I'm now $60ish short of getting the Shiva figure! Does anyone love me enough to give me $60?

....anyone?

I have no idea what that is, but people keep talking about it on the official Playstation forums for Final Fantasy haha.

LOL. Aren't you trying to get all the trophies? You need traps to upgrade the weapons to the last stage and you need dark matter for some of the accessory upgrades. They have like a 1% drop rate and the enemies are hard as heck to kill. O_O

I JUST BOUGHT THE SHIVA ACTION FIGURE! WOO HOO!!

Yes, I'm crazy. All collectors are. So Shiva is $200, which is freaking insane, and since there aren't any anime stores around here I'd have to pay shipping - and going by the size of the figure, some sites had shipping estimated at $30!

The reason I suddenly bought it is because I found a store, ANIMEniacs, which listed some Shiva figures on Amazon for $200 with the cheapest shipping I found online. Then, yesterday, they strangely changed the listing to $180 + shipping. But today it went back to $200 + shipping, which is kind of weird...

Anyway, I found their actual website and there they had it listed for $170 + shipping! Still hella expensive, but it was a great deal when you compare it to my other options (and no, not buying it wasn't an option )

I'm so excited! I got my Snow figure from ANIMEniacs so I know they're reliable. You guys should check out their store - I feel bad because it looks like they've been having some slow business lately, but this means they sell things for lower than MSRP even when you account for shipping. Amazing!

"Hi everyone. My name is Vincent, and I'm a collector."

"Hi Vincent...."

I hope it's legit. I would think importing the figures from Japan would be more expensive then buying it here since they are sold by the same company and should be the same price no matter where you buy it.

SHIVA CAME INT HE MAIL TODAY AND SHE IS GINORMOUS. I haven't opened her because I've been busy all day, haha! And I don't want to draw my parents' attention to it, haha. If they ask, I'm claiming it was $40 because it's like two $20 figures put together....and then I got it on sale for $30. Totally a big fat lie, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

The box measures like 3.5 PS3 controllers in length and 1.5 PS3 controllers in width and height. (Notice how I always use PS3 controllers as a measurment? Haha that's because it's universal all over the world! I'm a pioneer, truly. )

She's so amazing. And yes, she's legit! Animeniacs Inc, guys. You can get her for LESS than the store price with shipping!

Gasp! According to teh Intern3tz, the other Play Arts Kai figures (Sazh, Fang, and Hope) were released yesterday!

I may wait to get them until I've moved into my new place. That way I won't have to pack them and drive 3 hours to my new pad.
